Grant will allow Loft Community Partnership to expand its services Student chosen as Lancaster

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

LoftCommunity Partnership (LCP), 222 N. George St., Millersville, was recently awarded a grant from United Way of Lancaster County, which annually selects 11 local nonprofits to support through its Level Up & Launch initiative. LCP plans to use the $30,000 grant from United Way to expand its existing community outreach services and launch the 717 Food Recovery Program to combat food insecurity in the area.

The 717 Food Recovery Program is centered around LCP’s practice of recovering fresh food from local retailers before it becomes discarded. Once a week, recovered food is distributed at the organization’s food bank, which operates on a clientchoice model to allow people to only take the items that they need. In addition to the initial grant, United Way will match any donations made to LCP until Tuesday, Oct. 31. Donations may be made online at https://tinyurl.com/leveluplcp.

“The partnership with United Way has given us so many opportunities to grow our organization and involve more neighbors and clients in our decision-making process,” said Jenna Graeff, LCP’s director of strategic partnerships. “We want to come together to learn how to make our services more sustainable.” LCP is seeking local growers, farmers and food retailers both small and large to partner with it as part of the 717 Food Recovery Program. For more information, contact Graeff at 717-723-8180 or email theloftcp@gmail.com.

LCP’s food bank has seen an increase in the number of its clients this year; its weekly average of households served has increased by more than 50. Graeff attributed the higher demand to rising food costs and the reduction of government benefits such as food stamps, which were decreased in March. In

County dairy princess

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

On June 1, Penn Manor High School junior Kylee Hlavaty began serving in her role as Lancaster County dairy princess, a title awarded by Pennsylvania Dairy Princess & Promotion Services (PDPPS). As this year’s dairy princess, Hlavaty

will promote the dairy industry at farm shows, festivals, schools and grocery stores throughout the county and its surrounding areas.

Hlavaty was encouraged to apply for the program by her grandmother, who served as Lebanon County dairy princess in 1977. Hlavaty’s family has a long history of involve ment

response, LCP has worked to maximize the efficiency of the food bank and keep its costs low by partnering with other local organizations such as Homefields

Care Farm and Grace Church Lancaster. “We’ve been having a lot of beautiful produce and herbs donated every week. What we’ve been able to offer the community has been abundant this year,” Graeff said.

Beyond its food bank, LCP provides a number of other services to meet the needs of the community. In preparation for the 2023-24 school year, LCP partnered with Martic Pantry to collect school supplies and

backpacks to give to families of students in the Penn Manor School District. LCP also partnered with businesses such as CarMax and Verizon, which provided volunteers to staff collection drives. This is the third year that LCP has organized a collection of school supplies, and it has grown in size every year. The organization hopes to continue its growth by offering more items for children, such as clothing and vouchers for haircuts.

“The beginning of the school year is an expensive time for parents,” Graeff said. “(The drive) takes some of the burden off of parents to buy all of the things that their kids need.”

Stair climb will honor fallen first responders

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

Lancaster County’s annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb will be held on Sunday, Sept. 17, at the Barnstormers’ stadium, 650 N. Prince St., Lancaster. Registration will begin at 8 a.m., followed by the stair climb at 9 a.m. Participants will be required to pay a set cost to sign up, and registration will also be available online at www.lancasterstairclimb.org until Friday, Sept. 15.

Once the memorial service begins, participants will begin a procession up the steps of the

stadium. They will circle the stadium five times, making the distance of the climb equivalent to the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. During the climb, each participant will carry an image or the badge of a first responder who was killed while responding to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Every year, many first responders travel to the Barnstormers’ stadium to participate in the event. Firefighters often choose to don their full set of equipment for the climb, carrying the same type of heavy gear that their fallen comrades did

as they rescued those trapped in the twin towers. In the past, the event has drawn first responders from across the entire county, as well as firefighters and emergency personnel from New York, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey. “We have guys from outside of the state who only see each other at the stair climb every year. It’s a common bond for people,” said Scott Yuill, a member of the East Petersburg Fire Company. “They swap stories and catch up. Firefighters already have a bond with each other, but the memorial makes that stronger.”

Similar memorial events are held throughout the country in almost every state, and Lancaster’s stair climb is one of the largest in the region. The proceeds from the Lancaster event will benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, which distributes funds to the New York City Fire Department’s counseling services. Many

survivors, victims’ families and those who helped with rescue efforts continue to receive counseling over two decades after the attacks.

Yuill helped to establish the annual stair climb in Lancaster 13 years ago as a way to honor fellow firefighter Ronald Pucca. Yuill and Pucca

met at a training program in New York, and Pucca was one of the city’s fire marshals who was killed by the collapse of the World Trade Center. Members of the community, especially first responders, immediately rallied in support of the memorial.

Nominations sought for award

The Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership is accepting nominations for the annual Mira Lloyd Dock Partnership Diversity Award, given in recognition of conservation work in environmental justice communities in Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, the Department of Environmental Protection considers any census block group where 20% or more individuals live in poverty or 30% or more of the population identifies as a minority to be in an environmental justice area.

The Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership, coordinated by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, welcomes nominations of anyone in Pennsylvania who has shown exemplary leadership in his or her community through environmental restoration, awareness, education or conservation work. This work includes community tree plantings, rain garden or native pollinator garden installation or plantings, regenerative agriculture or urban farming or permaculture, or community beautifi-

cation in an environmental justice community.

Nominees are ranked on their community engagement, collaboration and environmental conservation work with environmental justice communities in support of planting 10 million trees in Pennsylvania. Nominees are given credit for using science, research, innovative and creative approaches to conservation. A volunteer committee of environmental leaders, past Dock Award winners, and others will determine the winners.

To submit a nomination, visit https://tenmilliontrees.org/ contact/mld/. Forms are also available by emailing keystone trees@cbf.org or calling 717200-4543. The deadline for nominations is Friday, Sept. 29.

The award winners will receive $5,000 worth of native trees and supplies from the partnership, to be used for a 2024 tree project.

ple a unique way to show that they haven’t forgotten, like everyone promised in the days after 9/11,” Yuill said. “Even the younger generations participate, despite being babies when it happened. They know that it’s about honor and sacr ifice, and they honor that.”

Now in its fourth year, the award was created to honor the spirit of Mira Lloyd Dock, who pursued urban beautification and forest conservation at a time when women and people of color were not welcomed at the decision-making table.

Dock is recognized as the first Pennsylvania woman to lead the way in forest conservation. She was an advocate for Penn’s Woods and in 1901 was appointed to the State Forestry Reservation Commission by Pennsylvania Gov. William Stone.

The Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership will present the award during the Pennsylvania Forestry Association’s annual symposium on Saturday, Nov. 4, at Toftrees Golf Resort in State College.

Event to celebrate African American culture

with the dairy industry, at one point owning multiple dairy farms. The deed for the family’s first farm, which is located in Berks County, was signed by William Penn more than 300 years ago. The dairy princess program appealed to Hlavaty not only because of her family’s history, but also due to her respect for the dedication and hard work of dairy farmers. “It’s not just getting milk from cows,” Hlavaty said. “They work every single day, 365 days a year, with no breaks, often getting up in the middle of the night if one of your cows goes into labor.”

Last year, Hlavaty served as a

dairy maid for Lebanon County, which entailed duties similar to those of a dairy princess.

Dairy maids are representatives who are younger than the dairy princesses, and each county can have multiple dairy maids serving at the same time. In addition to serving as a dairy maid, Hlavaty began to work on a dairy farm and continued to learn about the industry.

As a Lancaster County dairy princess candidate, Hlavaty was required to demonstrate her knowledge by giving a speech, offering a presentation and answering a question related to the dairy industry. For her speech, Hlavaty discussed sev-

eral types of diets and elaborated on the role that dairy - or the absence of dairy - plays in each of them. Hlavaty’s presentation took the form of a trivia game called “Reach for Real Dairy.” She placed empty containers of dairy milk and its alternatives in front of a poster board and sorted each container into one of two shopping baskets based on its nutritional value, health benefits and ingredients. Hlavaty drew inspiration for her presentation from her grandmother, who worked as a food scientist for the Hershey Company.

Hlavaty discovered that she had been named dairy

princess on May 20 and attended her first event on June 2 in Lancaster city. During the event, she handed out milkshakes and offered informational games to the public alongside members of the PA Dairymen’s Association. Since then, Hlavaty has attended several dairy shows, and she will give lessons in schools across the state in the fall. “I was surprised by how happy the community has been to see an active dairy princess,” Hlavaty said. “It makes them want to learn about the industry and how it’s about so much more than just owning a few cows.”

Outdoor enthusiasts invited to join BVSA

BY FRANCINE FULTON

The Brandywine Valley Ski Association (BVSA) is a nonprofit Chester County-based organization that organizes social activities for those who enjoy the outdoors. Activities include picnics, kayaking, bike rides, outdoor concerts, pool parties, Friday happy hours and ski trips.

“We have many members that are not skiers but enjoy the club for its activities and the opportunity to meet new friends,” said Harold Lamb, a

member of the BVSA activities committee.

BVSA will hold a prospective new member informational meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m. at the Thorndale Inn, 430 Bondsville Road, Downingtown. “At the meeting, we will have an overview of the purpose of the club, which is really to provide fun, social opportunities for people who enjoy the outdoors,” said Lamb.

For the upcoming ski season, the club, which is affiliated with the Eastern Pennsylvania Ski Council (EPSC), is organizing trips to Switzerland and Aspen Snowmass and Breckenridge, Col. A weeklong bike and barge trip

along the Rhine River in the Netherlands is scheduled for the end of September.

“(At the meeting), we will have flyers of trips we are offering this year,” said Lamb. “The bike and barge trip is already sold out, but the other trips have open slots.” The meeting will also include a display of photos of past outings and trips.

BVSA members are asked to pay an annual fee, with separate prices for couples, families and individuals. In addition to a monthly newsletter that lists club activities, members receive reciprocal membership to the EPSC and the National Ski Council.

The club is open to adults of all ages. “(Most members)

are from throughout Chester County,” Lamb said, noting that other members hail from neighboring Lancaster, Montgomery and Delaware counties.

The club, which was established in 1975, currently has 300 registered members. BVSA meets on the first Wednesday of each month from September through May at the Thorndale Inn. Guests are welcome.

“We would like to see new members. We are looking to grow,” Lamb said. “The more people we have, the more trips and activities we can offer.”

Conservation advocates win awards

The Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts (PACD) recently held its annual conference in Harrisburg. Several conservationists were recognized during an awards luncheon on July 19.

The Legislator Leadership Award was presented to Sen. Scott Martin, who was nominated by the Lancaster County Conservation District. This award recognizes legislators for outstanding efforts to further the activities and accomplishments of the state’s conservation districts or PACD on a statewide basis. As chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Martin is an advocate for conservation efforts across the state. He worked to enact the legislation that created the new statewide Agricultural Conservation Assistance Program, which represents a $154 million investment to help improve water quality and soil health. Martin was also instrumental in providing additional funding to conservation districts for their oper-

ational needs through the state budget process.

Piper Sherburne was one of two recipients of the President’s Award. The PACD executive board president - currently Kelly Stagen - selects an individual, organization, or agency to receive this award in recognition of their out-

standing efforts that have resulted in furthering the accomplishments of PACD. Sherburne is PACD’s South East Region director and chair of the Berks County Conservation District board. She was recognized for her efforts to eradicate the spotted lanternfly in Pennsylvania. Sher-

Elizabethtown Chapter, Order of DeMolay, is a fraternal organization for young men ages 12 to 21. The Order of DeMolay seeks to teach the principles of good citizenship, fraternalism, and leadership through activities such as public speaking, athletics, social functions, travel, and civic service projects.

Presentation to examine folklore

Lancaster Medical Heritage Museum, 410 N. Lime St., Lancaster, will host a pre-Halloween event, “Don’t Stand on That Grave,” on Tuesday, Sept. 5, at noon. The event will explore the mysteries, legends, and traditions associated with final resting places.

It will be held online via Zoom and will feature a presentation provided by CMS Research and Genealogy as well as the opportunity for discussion. The presentation will aim to provide a deeper appreciation of the intricate connections between the past and present, as well as a greater understanding of the ways in which folklore shapes people’s

perceptions of death and the afterlife.

Admission is by donation benefiting the Lancaster Medical Heritage Museum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to preserve and protect medical heritage with special attention given to Lancaster County. The museum strives to accomplish this mission through education, exhibition, and research.

Tickets can be purchased at https://CemeteryFolklore .eventbrite.com. Interested individuals are encouraged to secure their tickets early.

REAL ESTATE & PERSONAL PROPERTY - 10 .1 ACRES

Jennifer Baker, executive director of the LCCTF. Money is raised through multiple channels, including participation in the state’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit program and the ExtraGive.

“We also hold our annual fly fishing tournament, Fly on the Run,” Baker stated. “2024 will be the 18th year for the event to be held May 8 and 9. In 2023, we raised a record $130,000 to support the LCCTC.” Individual donors also support the LCCTF, and the organization just launched an alumni network this past spring, encouraging previous students to stay connected and give back to the LCCTC.

The purchase of the automatic truck will aid students in a four-week CDL program, part of the LCCTF’s Workforce Talent program. The initiative is designed to recruit, educate and place adults into high-demand, skilled positions, Baker said.

“The Workforce Talent program provides opportunity to those that are unemployed or underemployed. Adults who match that criteria have the ability to apply for tuition assistance for up to 80% of the cost of tuition,” she explained. “We also provide tuition assistance for adults who enroll in the LCCTC’s 10-week Basic Welding program.” Since 2017, the LCCTF has raised $1.1 million to provide tuition assistance to

111 welding students and 92 CDL students.

Everything the LCCTF does supports students in their quest to gain career and technical skills in a variety of industries, Baker said, noting that donations to the organization bolster this mission.

“Give today to build tomorrow’s workforce,” she said. “Donations will directly help to enrich LCCTC programs by providing new equipment, current technology and up-to-date curriculum content; support students’ futures by giving them the opportunity to train on industry-standard equipment and technology; and build a thriving Lancaster County workforce by increasing the pipeline of skilled workers.”
